I've got a multi-monitor setup, and my goal is place a single GLWindow on each monitor in full-screen mode. I've gone through most of the test cases, which demonstrate how to bring up a GLWindow on the main monitor:

  GLCapabilities caps = new GLCapabilities(GLProfile.getDefault());
  Display display = NewtFactory.createDisplay(null);
  Screen screen = NewtFactory.createScreen(display, 0);
  GLWindow window = GLWindow.create(screen, caps);

  window.setFullScreen(true);
  window.setVisible(true);

Now, I've tried every combination under the sun to get a GLWindow to come up on some other monitor besides the main one, without success. What is the magic I am missing?

As a reference, the code below represents the SWING/AWT equivalent of what I am trying to do with NEWT:

  GraphicsEnvironment env = GraphicsEnvironment.getLocalGraphicsEnvironment();

  for (GraphicsDevice dev : env.getScreenDevices())
  {
      JFrame frame = new JFrame();

      // add components to the frame, formatting, etc.

      dev.setFullScreenWindow(frame);
  }

Part of this is so I can provide Brandon with a proper testcase for this GLG2D issue.

Here is my environment:

1) Window 7 Professional x64
2) jdk1.7.0_06
3) eclipse 4.2.1.v201209141800

4) jogl.README.txt:
This is build version 2.0-b66-20121101, based on:
branch  rc
commit  502847f59ef01c78a85e4ee5453a09d9b83d9a5e

Thanks for the help : )
